After careful review and cost analysis of the ORCA vs YETI and a couple of work associates that have Yeti's, I opted for the ORCA. Price was a major factor. This will be a 4 day review so it will be updated each day.

Finish is fine and most flashing from the Roto Molding was removed. Nothing really sharp to snag or cut. Mesh pocket in back is nice but I have removed it as it will not be functional in my use.

Day 1 - Ambient temp is 99 degrees F on covered back porch using an IR handheld thermometer as pictured. Inside the ORCA 40 the temp was 90F. Added 20lbs of ice and shut lid. Left on back deck in the shade. Ambient temp remained above 80's until next day which was 76F

Day 2 - Opened the ORCA 40 to take a temp reading and measured temp 2 inches above ice level on the side wall of the cooler. Ambient temp is 94F. Put in a quart jar of juice and at end of 2nd day it was 40.8F

Day 3 - Left cooler closed all day on Day 2 except to add one item. Temp today is 74F in am with temp expected to be 90's later in the day. As photo shows the jar of juice that was added was 40.8F and I was surprised the sidewall of cooler was still 38F. Ice has melted some but still plenty. I'm going to call this one a KEEPER as I don't really expect to have to use a cooler for trips for more than 3 days anyway, 4 days at most.

I have used this cooler several times since it was delivered and have no complaints. Holds ice solid for 2 days with adults and children going in and out of it on the boat in hot humid weather. The handles make it easy to carry and the drain plug is a solid piece of plastic. Sometimes the top is sealed so tight it makes it kind of hard to open and it is a heavy cooler. All these types of coolers are heavy so I knew that before I purchased. As compared to a Yeti, this actually give you the full 40 quart space inside the cooler. They have several color options and the price is also BETTER than Yeti. Plus the cooler is made in USA so you can not go wrong with this cooler.

it was a present to my girlfriends dad his wife used it so far and was astounded how long it would keep ice since she was in the sun all day at a farmers market in 100 degree heat and by the end of the day it still had ice even though it was in direct sun all day would like to buy 2 more

Wonderful product! Met all my expectations. A little pricey but, if you can afford the best, this is it! I added a little (10 lbs.) dry ice and some ice cubes at the bottom of the cooler and the ORCA was like a mini-freezer for three days. After the dry ice was gone, I put more ice cubes in it and it kept bottles of water and beer cold for three more days.

Great cooler! The 40 qt. is larger than expected, but if the power goes out, I'll just move my referigerated and frozen items to my cooler. The quality is great and it's made in the USA! I'll e buying the wheelie kit next.

I have used ORCA all weekend. Put a 22 lb ice bag in there on Saturday when it came in, filled it up with drinks and the ice is still there. I would recommend this cooler over the YETI by far. Love that it is America Made.

Fantastic cooler, definitely larger than the YETI equivalent, but super high quality/easily registered the warranty. So excited to take it out for a week long camping trip to really put it to the test!
